Chapter 2249: Chapter 2284: Neverending
"Taigang, too strong?"
Zheng Tianxing glanced over there, his eyebrows furrowing. At this moment, the sky above was filled with people from Taiwang Palace. The Sixth Level expert from the Divine Realm they had seen earlier had already arrived, and they were doing everything possible to suppress the ancient coffin. But over on Zheng Tianren’s side, there was only one Sixth Level expert from the Divine Realm. If he were to fight for it, he would undoubtedly suffer some setbacks.
"Grandfather, we must act quickly, or the coffin will be taken."
Zheng Da was out early; he saw Taifan continuously striking the ancient coffin with large handprints and couldn’t help but feel anxious. If Taigang put the ancient coffin into his Space Ring, even if Zheng Family’s experts arrived, they couldn’t seize it back.
Ding Fan saw the conflict in Zheng Tianren and suddenly said, "Duke Zheng, I can send two people to help you, but... I want half of the treasure inside the coffin."
Zhong Zhiyong was at the mid-stage of the Sixth Level, while Crimson Flame was at the elementary stage, but they had comprehended Heaven and Earth’s Momentum. Additionally, with Zheng Tianren’s words, those two experts from Taiwang Palace shouldn’t be a match.
The treasures inside the Spirit Coffin of the Night Wolf Emperor were worth at least hundreds of thousands of Black Obsidian. Giving half to Ding Fan would be enough for his Teleportation Array fare to Sirius City. This is Zheng Family’s territory; naturally, the consequences of the actions would be handled by Zheng Family, so why would Ding Fan compete for it?
Zheng Tianren hadn’t had the chance to speak when Zheng Da immediately mocked, "Half? Why give it to you? You think our Zheng Family doesn’t have strong experts?"
"Slap~"
Zheng Tianren slapped Zheng Da into the cabin, angered and sternly said, "You bastard, show disrepect to Young Master Ding again, and I’ll lock you up for twenty years when we get back. See if you dare not listen again."
Zheng Da was very hurt but dared not speak again. Zheng Tianren, full of apology, said to Ding Fan, "Sorry, Young Master Ding, it’s my poor teaching. I’ll punish him when we get back. Half is too much. I’ll take responsibility; once the coffin is brought down, you’ll get sixty-five percent of the treasure inside."
"Sixty-five percent?"
Ding Fan was surprised by Zheng Tianren’s politeness. Why would he offer sixty-five percent? But now wasn’t the time to think about this. Ding Fan looked at Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame and said, "You guys, go help and seize the coffin."
"Young Master..."
After hearing him, both Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame hesitated. The situation around them was chaotic, so they couldn’t guarantee Ding Fan’s safety if he stayed here alone. What if someone tried to kill him or he got accidentally killed?
Ding Fan smiled, pointing at the mountain below and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll hide with Zheng Da in the mountain. Doesn’t Zheng Family have two Scout Cavalry? Once you seize the coffin, take me away immediately. Would Taiwang Palace’s people really dare cause trouble within Zheng Family’s territory?"
Zheng Tianren found Ding Fan’s words very reasonable. Taiwang Palace’s people might dare to seize the coffin, but they certainly wouldn’t dare to kill Zheng Family members. He nodded to Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame and, after saying a few words to the two Scout Cavalry from Zheng Family, shot into the sky.
"Young Master, be extra careful."
Seeing Ding Fan insist they act, Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame had no choice but to follow. Before leaving, they reminded Ding Fan again. Ding Fan looked at Zheng Da and then jumped out of the airship, discovering a hidden cave and settling in. He lay at the cave entrance, watching the distant struggle.
Zheng Da didn’t come down. Having been slapped by Zheng Tianren, he held a grudge against Ding Fan. How could he stay with Ding Fan?
The two Scout Cavalry from Zheng Family dared not be careless, each following one person, guarding Ding Fan and Zheng Da.
"Zheng Tianren, get back! We were the first to discover this!"
A loud shout came from afar. It should be one of the Sixth Level experts from Taiwang Palace. Seeing the coffin about to be taken, how could they watch Zheng Tianren seize it?
"Hahaha!"
Zheng Tianren laughed heartily and said to the other side, "Taigang, this is Zheng Family’s territory! Any treasure here belongs to Zheng Family. Are you declaring war by crossing the line to seize it? Let’s start!"
Zheng Tianren’s Divine Soldier Pellet suddenly enlarged, with a swirling mass of black fog appearing on it. The black fog engulfed the nearby space, like thick ink, devouring everyone nearby like a beast’s mouth, swallowing all life.
The Night Wolf Emperor’s coffin had emitted some light, but now it was completely dark, only exclamations and explosions coming from inside.
"What insight is this?"
Ding Fan was amazed and asked the nearby Scout Cavalry. The Scout explained, "This is the insight Elder Zheng Tianren comprehended, a combination of Fourth Level Dark Insight and a special insight, which he named Mist Insight. If trapped inside, anyone of a lower rank can’t come out."
"Truly remarkable!"
Ding Fan marveled silently in his heart. Although he’d seen many insights, he was still awestruck by the power of true experts. His strength was still too low.
"Sizzle~"
The black fog spread rapidly, covering several miles. Many people nearby were obscured, and explosions occurred continuously inside the mist. It should be Zheng Tianren, Zhong Zhiyong, and Crimson Flame clashing with two experts from Taiwang Palace.
"They must bring down that coffin..."
Ding Fan prayed secretly. When Zhong Zhineng and the others seized the Night Wolf Emperor’s coffin, he’d gain lots of Black Obsidian, making the journey to Sirius City much easier.
"What is that? Why? How did the coffin fly out?"
After a while, a light flashed from afar, and the coffin was flung out, rolling on the ground. The light on the coffin dimmed significantly.
"Whoosh~"
The Dragon Emperor’s coffin flew up again, turning into a light band, knocking two Fourth Level experts aside and then flying towards Ding Fan at a terrifying speed.
"Hahaha, in the end, this ancient coffin belongs to me!"
Zheng Da was overjoyed, flying directly from the Super Airship, releasing a Third Stage Divine Weapon, and suddenly colliding with the Night Wolf Emperor’s coffin.
"Boom!"
The ancient coffin was struck off course, and Zheng Da’s Divine Weapon was also knocked back. But at this moment, Ding Fan exclaimed, "Damn it, what bad luck!"
Ding Fan cursed his bad luck in his heart, as the coffin was hurtling towards the cave where he was hiding. If he didn’t escape, he would be crushed into fragments.
This cave was too shallow, and if Ding Fan fled further into the cave, it would be a dead end.
Ding Fan immediately activated the Sirius inheritance, and as his True Yuan flowed, he employed the Shadowless Body Technique, flying out of the cave and shooting off into the distance.
His reaction was swift enough. Just as he flew away, the coffin collided with the cave, causing it to collapse with a booming sound, as gravel shot out, and the coffin was mostly embedded in the cave.
"Good!"
Not far away, Zheng Da was very pleased. He called out to two Fourth Level experts from the Zheng Family Divine Realm, "Quick, hold it down for me, I’ll handle it personally, this coffin is mine."
He flew over in a Divine Weapon, as the two Fourth Level experts from the Zheng Family released their Divine Weapons, attacking the ancient coffin, attempting to crush it into the mountain to prevent it from flying away.
"Boom!"
Who knew the coffin seemed to have a life of its own, bounced back quickly, collided with the two Divine Weapons, and flew off into the distance.
"Magby!"
Ding Fan, having fled a mile away, felt the wind roaring behind him, suddenly turned around to see the ancient coffin shooting towards him, and his expression changed immediately, involuntarily cursing out loud.
This ancient coffin... seemed to have a target on him?
Otherwise, how could it be so smart, twice crashing into him?
His body transformed into more than ten figures, projecting a ghostly shadow in front of him, attempting to mislead the coffin’s judgment to avoid the collision.
However—
The coffin turned towards Ding Fan’s true form, crashing into him. At this moment, Ding Fan was completely certain the coffin was purposeful, and he began to vaguely understand something.
It’s no accident this coffin could fly towards him; it must be controlled by the demon inside. This Demon... recognized him and is now seeking revenge, wanting to kill him.
In the Night Wolf Emperor’s tomb, this demon almost controlled Zhong Yuangu, and the Divine Weapon was about to be drawn out. It was Ding Fan who had Sirius bite through the massive Mysterious Iron Chain so the demon didn’t succeed. Ultimately, the demon also controlled Zhong Wugu attempting to kill Ding Fan and Herr Ningshuang.
This old demon’s abilities had reached incredible levels; could it be that the Night Wolf Emperor had been dead for so many years, and his ghost is still alive? If so, it would be understandable that he recognized Ding Fan.
At this crucial moment, Ding Fan could only grit his teeth and clench his fists, aiming to punch the coffin, trying to block its mighty push with mere force, a coffin even Divine Weapons couldn’t crush, he intended to punch away!
"Ssss~"
The ancient coffin increased its speed slightly, bringing a fierce wind as it targeted Ding Fan, and Ding Fan’s fist also carried wind as it targeted the ancient coffin.
But...
Just before the collision, Ding Mai’s foot suddenly slipped, and he fell flat on his back on the ground, the coffin slid closely past him.
The coffin flew past him, Ding Fan gasped for air, secretly grateful in his heart; luckily, his reaction was quick, or he would have been killed just now.
"Whoosh~"
Just as he hadn’t slowed his pace, the coffin returned. The coffin hovered in mid-air, flying backward, not turning back.
"Damn it, is this endless? Why haven’t Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame returned!"
Ding Fan cursed loudly, his eyes flickered as he scrambled up and ran wildly towards Zheng Da and the others, hoping to use their power to escape.
"Buzz..."
However, the coffin suddenly glimmered, its speed dramatically increasing, catching up to Ding Fan and smashing against his back.
Life or death, Ding Fan’s heart pounded, he gritted his teeth, controlling his body to stop just as the coffin flew, using his foot to stomp on the ground fiercely, flying up, trying to leap over the coffin to avoid the impact.
He calculated precisely, when the coffin flew in, he jumped onto it, successfully avoiding its impact.
"Ah..."
He just took a breath, but the next moment his expression changed dramatically because... the four corners of the coffin were fastened with massive Mysterious Iron Chains suddenly swung like whips around him, binding him entirely within the chains.
"Ah?"
Not far away, Zheng Da and the two Fourth Level experts from the Zheng Family Divine Realm arrived just in time to see this scene; all three were a bit bewildered. Was this coffin alive? Or had it transformed into some spiritual beast? It actually could bind a person with a massive Mysterious Iron Chain? The three exchanged glances, not daring to approach; if they were all bound, what would they do?
"Whoosh!"
The ancient coffin flickered with radiance, carrying Ding Fan away as it transformed into a ray of light. Zheng Da finally reacted at this point, yelling to the two scout cavalry: "Quickly, go inform my grandfather, Ding Fan has been abducted by the ancient coffin."
Zheng Da didn’t know much about Ding Fan, but he was aware of how highly Zheng Tianren valued him. Ding Fan being kidnapped, if anything happened, his grandfather would flay him.
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
One after another, figures flew over; they were all from Taiwang Palace, several Fifth Level experts from the Divine Realm also witnessed the scene. Without hesitation, they released their Divine Weapons, then jumped onto them, pursuing onward.
